 Britannia Biographies: Elizabeth of York, Queen of England   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Elizabeth of York, Queen of Henry VII, the eldest child of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville, was born at Westminster.
But the obvious marriage for her was that with the exiled heir of the House of Lancaster, Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, and all peace-lovers, especially Bishop Morton of Ely, were constantly scheming for that end.
It might almost be said to be a part of Henry's 'contract with the English people' that he should marry Elizabeth and so unite the rival Houses of York and Lancaster; but he was particularly anxious not to appear to owe his crown to his wife and, therefore, did not marry her until January 1486.

 Richard III Society--Online Library
In this volume, Memoirs of Elizabeth of York and of her sisters, will for the first time be found, all of whom have been unaccountably neglected by historical writers.
This is fully exemplified in the instance of a learned historian of the present day, who, in treating the character of Richard the Third, ascribes to him a love of splendid clothes and a taste for pomp, which in fact belonged to the age and not to the individual.
These inferences with respect to the character of Richard the Third are, it is submitted, drawn from a mistaken estimate of evidence, rather than from erroneous data; and they prove the necessity of an historian not merely using research, but of being able to attach proper value to his materials.
